Only Mind: Takuan

Loneliness is the perfume of ego,the price to pay for confusing emptinesswith a non-existent subject.

Separation is the noise of ego,mistaking luminosityas objects.

Dismember the non-existent skandas,squeeze them out,and drink the nectar of self-liberation.

Only then, Mind will shine radiantly,and Bliss and freedomwill become your companions.

Ambush the five thieves,in the dark of the night,and cut their throats silently.

Then consciousness will turninto awareness, and the thieveswill become your servants.
